Answer:

a_{n}=(2)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem models a geometric sequence, because each day is double than the day before.

So, if a_{1} represents the first day, r=2 represents the increasing reason and a_{n} represents the day n, or the final day you can say.

Using all these elements, the sequence can be modelled as

a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}\\  a_{n}=1(2)^{n-1}\\a_{n}=(2)^{n-1}

Where the first day is 1.

For example, after 20 days, that is, n = 20, the number of infected people would be

a_{n}=(2)^{n-1}\\a_{20}=(2)^{20-1}=(2)^{19}

Therefore, the expression that models this problem is

a_{n}=(2)^{n-1}

3x \times 2 = y
this is what I would come up with because.
y=the number of people infected
x=the number of days that have passed

5 (3y — 13) = бу – 2<br> PLEAse help <br> Need those 2
____ [38]

Answer:

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

5(3y - 13) = 6y - 2

5*3y + 5*-13 = 6y - 2

15y - 65 = 6y - 2

15y - 6y = 65 - 2

9y = 63

y = 63/9

y = 7

Check:

5((3*7)-13) = 6*7 - 2

5(21-13) = 42 - 2

5*8 = 40

How do you find the perimeter
lukranit [14]

The perimeter is 86 m.

When you add the 18 with the 11, you get the length of the bottom side, which is 29. When you add the nine and the 6, you get the length of the left side, which is 15. Now add everything together.

18 + 6 + 11 + 9 + 29 + 15 = 86 m

Hope I helped. Good luck!! : )
